Happy Friday! Karen H. here and today I am sharing
a feminine card I made with Crackerbox Palace’s awesome stamps. I started
with a black 4 ¼” x 11” card and folded it at 5 ½”. Then I folded the left side
back in half again. I used the partial die cut technique in the center of the
black card front to cut only the right half of a label die from QuicKutz (put
the top glass only on the half you want to cut.) Then I folded back the cut
part and attached to the left side of the card front. I cut a slightly smaller
QuicKutz label shaped piece out of script designer paper and stamped Crackerbox
Palace’s Party Dress in black and added a flower at the waist. On the inside I
stamped CBP's “You’re Utterly Fabulous” for the fabulous lady who will receive this
card.

Karen Schroeder made this card with our stamps for a challenge over at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers. Isn't this a bright and cheery card, and kind of funny.

The challenge over at SOSS is A is for Accident. So if you have an idea for a card hop on over there and enter their challenge! But first, stop on over to Karen's blog and see what she writes and look at the other works of art of hers. http://paleopal623.blogspot.com/

Happy Friday! Karen H. here and today I am sharing
a monochromatic masculine card I made with Crackerbox Palace’s awesome
stamps. I started with a grey card base and stamped the vertical Happy Birthday
and straight and curvy barb wire. I stamped the Poster on Wood on grey cardstock and then
stamped the cowboy silhouette inside. I sponged the outside frame with black
Distress ink and the inside was sponged with a white pigment ink. I cut it out
and attached to the card front with pop dots to raise it. I don’t know any
cowboys, but I think most any guy would like this card.

Valentine's Day is over so on to another fun occasion. Do you wear one of those buttons: Kiss Me I'm Irish? Or pinch someone who is wearing orange? OH I remember green beer many, many years ago.

Well, to the card. I sponged the background with brown ink on tan card stock. The saying is on our Poster. I did stamp it on darker tan c/s and then again on light c/s. I cut out the light and put it on the darker c/s so it looks like paper on the board. And sponged a little brown around the edges.

Colored the happy leprechaun with Copic markers, (but I didn't make the beer green).

I posted on fb yesterday that ALL of the stamps on the web site were 30% off. I got a couple of messages today that there were some people that did not see it since it was Valentine's Day and they were busy with stuff you do on Valentine's Day. It was a quick decision to do the sale and I am so sorry I only had the coupon for Saturday.. SO, because Valentine's Day is the Love holiday, I am extending the sale for today and posting it on the blog as well.

﻿ The coupon code is ...Valentine

So hop on over and take a look, there are over 1300 stamps to look at.

Happy Friday! Karen H. here and today I am sharing
a cute Valentine I made with some fun stamps from Crackerbox Palace. I created a colorful cardbase with some red
polka dotted cardstock. I cut a square hole in the center of a white layer and
stamped the sentiment in red ink. A second smaller square was cut with a die
from Spellbinders. I stamped the cute monkey swinging in a heart on kraft paper
and on white. I colored the heart swing red and paper pieced the monkey after a
little coloring. He is “hanging” on a rope made with a thin washi tape.

Happy Friday! Karen H. here and today I am sharing
a snowflake shaker card I made with some fun snowflake stamps from Crackerbox Palace. I am so glad
shaker cards have become so popular again because they are fun to make! I
created the opening in the navy blue square piece with a new die from Darice. I
attached a piece of acetate behind the snowflake opening. In the center of the white cardbase I stamped “Warm winter wishes” and
a bunch of tiny snowflakes. I also stamped some lovely larger snowflakes from
CBP in the front corners with white pigment ink. I used mounting tape to seal
off the shaker part and dumped in some blue, white and snowflake sequins and a few
glass shards. Here is another look after shaking the card:

I used the die cut snowflake taken out of
the opening in the front on the inside of the card with another perfect
sentiment from Crackerbox Palace:
